Anyone using 90min./800MB CD-R's with Nero?

Just picked up a box of 10 90min./800MB CD-R's for $12 euro's at Dynabyte in Amsterdam. Read that the Plextor 12/10/32 does these fine at 8x speed. I have the TDK 12/10/32 VeloCD that is supposedly a rebadged Plextor. When I put a blank CD-R in Windows XP reads it as 700MB and when trying to burn more than 700M with Nero it says that there isn't enough space, this is with the newest Nero 5.5.7.8. Anyone know if I have to change some settings? The discs show they are 90min on the printing and with the little type in the center also, so I don't think they are mislabeled...
Thanks...

Have you tried a firmware update for your drive? Sometimes they will support bigger disks but need a firmware update (my old Mitsumi 4x writer wouldn't even do 80minute cdr's until it was updated).

Firmware is at current 1.08 on TDK and firmware.fr website, but thanks anyway...
Anyone else have any opinions?

Open Nero, go to "File>Preferences>Expert Features" and check the box that says "enable overburning...". Set the times at 99min, 59sec. That's it, now you'll be able to burn the 800Mb disks.
